Featured Youtuber – Evan Kale

As some of you may know, here at Circuit Specialists we love helping support the electronics community by sponsoring YouTuber’s that share exciting and educational content. Today, we would like to share with you our latest partner, Evan Kale.

Evan has been posting videos on his youtube channel, EvanKale91, for about 3 years now. His first few were actually music videos featuring his skills on the guitar. Now, Evan has focused his channel on a totally unique hybrid of electronics, arduino programming, gear hacking, and still incorporates a musical aspect.

This video appropriately shows how wacky the channel can get!

Evan is known for taking common household items and really expanding their functionality. Here, he took a playstation2 controller and turned it into a universal bluetooth gamepad!

We sent Evan a few products to implement in his experiments. We asked him for some critical feedback, and here’s what he had to say:

“I’ve had a chance to try out most of the products, and so far, they have all been top quality.
I used to get my tools online, shipped from overseas (China), and the quality of those things are abysmal.
I would have to replace everything after a few uses and sometimes things would break out of the box.
The tools I got from you all feel extremely rigid, and I looks like they’ll last me a long time.”

– Which products have you had an opportunity to test out so far? Initial thoughts?

So far I’ve used the alligator clips (so much better than any online seller I’ve bought them from before), helping hand (haven’t gotten used to it – more below), solder sucker, tip cleaner, heatsink (works great as a reverse tweezer too), and test leads (more below).
